Welcome

It's at Ruger getting checked out. I have high hopes that it will come back in operating order.

Yes I am measuring off the shoulder with the proper bushing, I measure the fired case, resize, measure the result and they are getting longer, some more than others. I ended up tossing out a bunch of brass, as a result of the corroded powder issue,and I think I may loose a few more trying to...

Man I need a chronograph

Truth be told, this rifle is either going to be traded for another compact short action of some sort very soon anyway. Or the action will get a new barrel and stock (Boyd's at one, or some other adjustable style LOP, standard/ magnum length rifles are just too big for me) I would just like to...

I have both Lee and RCBS dies and shell holders for 7 RM. So I am going to experiment back and forth and see where I get my best results.

Welcome

Ok, that's a bit easier for me to understand. I might have to resort to that. I do have another shell holder for that one already, might be worth a shot just trying the second one out and see what happens. Thanks for the advice, it's much appreciated.

I have some other brass that is waiting to be sized, once my weekend comes around again I am going to give this another try. I am going to measure both from shoulder to case head, and the full case and see what difference there is. This will likely be the last time I size any of this brass so I...

I am getting cam over with the RCBS floor size die. With and without the decap rod assembly. Some of the brass is once fired in this rifle, and after sizing It is stretched enough I can't close the bolt on it. Oh how I love learning new things..

So I have an issue I have never experienced before. I'm sizing 7Rm brass, I just got the case length things from Hornady and I am all fired up and for the first time ever I am going to set my die to bump the shoulder back 2 thousandths. I measure, size, and bang. My brass is 5 thousandths...

I was bitten by long range shooting back in my C&R collecting days. I had a Swiss K31 7.5x55 that was popping 2 foot rocks with regularity out around 800 yards. Then same thing with my old m 91 mossin-nagant. Both using the military ladder sights. Sadly I had to sell the K-31. Then my 7RM...
